Question

Does 一気に　mean the same thing as たちまち？
そんなことをすればたちまち森林が・・・

Thanks!

Answer

That's right, たちまち is about a time, like instantly or immediately, and 一気に refers to an action that does everything in one go/strike. One action, great result. :P

Answer

Both mean 'at once', but I think たちまち refers to the time and 一気に refers to amount of something, like "to drink a whole glass of water at once".
